Well Little is surely growing up but as he gets older it becomes more and more apparent that he is behind developmentally. He is 4 weeks old and can barely walk more than a few steps. I encourage him constantly to walk around and explore but he will only take a few steps before he sits down and looks around, bewildered. He does not run, or jump..he does try to climb a little, but not well. And if I don't watch him he will walk right off the edge of a counter or the bed or whatever he is on without any hesitation whatsoever. Sometimes he just sits and stare into space with a 'stupid' look on his face, for lack of a better word. I think he sees a little but not well, I know he hears a bit too because when my alarm goes off in the middle of the night he immediately wakes up and starts scratching the side of his box.
I guess I have never raised a kitten this young but it seems he should be curious and rambunctious and playful but now and he just isn't. I worry for his mental health. I will love him just as much either way but I need him to at least be functional enough to use a litterbox and eat on his own eventually. Maybe I am putting the cart before the horse here?? Any thoughts??
